Really, both ways of stating it are a bit wrong. You don't actually "lose" any torque, you just push the torque curve up the RPM range a little bit. Since HP is a function of torque and RPM, as the RPM used goes up it will show some small increase in power.

That being said, if you are not using enough of the power band, especially in high gear, to use the new found power at the higher RPM you are not really going to see much of a gain from it.
